Hey another chapter here. Hope you like it. Please review at the end
They walked into the big ballroom, all eyes immediately turned to them. They looked great, Booth knew that. They matched not only in clothing but in heart
"Booth, why are they looking at us?" Brennan walked beside him as he guided her through the tables
"They are not looking at us, they are looking at you" Booth whispered as Brennan's body got closer
"Why?"
"Have you seen yourself in the mirror" Booth smiled even though he knew she wasn't looking
"Yes, I don't get what that has to do with them looking at me" She narrowed her eyes, to see if she recognized any people at the party
"It means, that you look beautiful" Booth said a little more loudly, getting even more stares from other colleagues
Brennan stopped walking to look at Booth. She smiled and in her mind made a note to thank Angela for making her buy the dress
"You do" Said Booth as he felt the silence was getting eternal
"Guys, over here!" Hodgins was sitting on a table close to the dancing floor, he stood up from the chair to try to get Brennan's and Booth's attention. They started walking to where the rest of the squints where sitting. All of them looked great, everyone dressed as they normally would, well maybe a little more glamorous "Dr. Brennan!" Zack and Hodgins screamed as they saw the outfit the anthropologist was wearing
"Told you she looked hot" Angela stood up to kiss her best friend on the cheek, stumbling because of the alcohol that was already flowing through her system. Zack and Hodgins just nodded openmouthed. Booth quickly threw a stare to the guys, making them know it was not allowed to look at Brennan that way. Hodigns and Zack took their seats. Brennan sat next to Angela, and Booth next to Brennan. Cam though, was sitting across the table, mostly alienated from the rest of the crew
"So did he love it?" Angela whispered to Brennan's ear
"I can tell that his heart rate increased" Brennan said with a smile as she refused a drink that was being offered to her
Angela nodded happily as she did accept the drink
An hour passed. All the squints where talking about random things except Brennan. Booth could tell she didn't talk because mostly she didn't know the pop cultural stuff the others knew. She sighed and took a sip from her glass. Booth whispered something to her ear; she smiled with a nod and stood up
"Seeley, how 'bout we hit the dance floor" Cam reached through out the table to grab Booth's arm
"Thanks Cam, but Bones and I are kind of going to dance" Booth shot her an apologetic smile, retrieved her hand from his arm and stood up. Brennan watched from behind, knowing that was another point against her.
"Oh, well good luck" Cam eyeballed Brennan, stood up and headed to the bathroom
"I think she hates me more now" Brennan said to Booth as they started walking towards the dancing floor
"She doesn't hate you, nobody could hate you Bones" Booth stopped; he placed one hand on her hip and with the other embraced her delicate hand. Brennan shivered as he did so
"How do you know? Epps hated me" Brennan and Booth started moving as the soft music played
"Epps was a lunatic; nobody with mental health could hate you"
"I hate her!" Cam stomped her heels as she got back to her seat
"Who?" Zack asked, being somehow afraid of the angry woman. Hodgins had gone out for a walk with Angela, it was hard to get her to the car without letting her fall
"I was with Booth first, is not like she is his type"
Zack turned his body to see what Cam was seeing "Oh, you are talking about Booth and Dr. Brennan?" Brennan laughed as Booth whispered something to her ear "They look as if they where in a very successful relationship"
Cam shot him a stare
"Or not" Said Zack as he felt in trouble for saying such a thing. Cam grabbed another alcoholic beverage from a waiter that passed by
"Booth" Brennan was looking to her sides "Everyone stopped dancing" The music had lowered its volume so most of the couples had gone back to their seats
"I know"
"Aren't we going to stop?"
"Do you want to? If so we can go back to the table"
Brennan gave him a mischievous smile, as if what they where doing was wrong"No, I want to keep dancing"
"That's my girl!" Booth turned her in his arms, so her back was now tight with his chest. Brennan laughed
"Why are you nice to me?" Brennan asked from nowhere
"What?"
"Why are you nice to me?" She asked for the second time
"I already told you that, you help me catch the bad guys" Booth repeated what he said in a case
"That's why? Zack, Angela, and Hodgins also help with the cases, and you don't treat them like you treat me"
"How do I treat you?" Booth stopped dancing, and let go of Brennan
"Well, you are always there even though sometimes I can be a little bossy. And you always look out for me, sometimes a little to much. You like to spend time with me; well that's what I think. But why? I'm not an enjoyable person to pass the time with"
"Not enjoyable? You have no idea how much I love to spend time with you" The word love coming from his lips was almost poetic "Temperance"
"Huh?" Brennan couldn't form clear words due to the close proximity Booth's body was
"Please don't say you don't understand what I feel"
"What do you feel?" She asked nervously. Booth placed his hands in her neck and kissed her. He was about to pull away, when he felt her kissing back. They separated for the need of air
"Temperance I love you" He spoke to her lips. Brennan took a step back, looked around her and started walking at a fast pace to the exit
"Bones!" Booth shouted as he tried to get to where she was
"I'm sorry Booth" Brennan apologized as she turned quickly her head and then continued walking
"Temperance please!" Booth tried again to get her to stop, but failed
Cam watched from her seat, a smile playing on her lips. The rest of the guests had abandoned their activities to look at the best crime solving team.
Brennan was gone. Her body was no longer on the room. Booth walked to where he last saw her, he picked up a silver earring that was on the floor; he placed in his pocket.
